The primary news Tuesday was Joe Paterno's announced intent to return for the 2011 season. Like you didn't know that already.

Anyway, here's what else is happening around Penn State as it prepares for Michigan State on Saturday.

--Linebacker Mike Mauti (shoulder) returned to practice in a limited role Tuesday, though his status for Saturday’s game remains unclear.

--Paterno said he doubts whether center Doug Klopacz will be available after spraining an ankle in the first quarter against Indiana. If Klopacz can’t play, guard Stefen Wisniewski will move back to center, and John Urschel and DeOn’tae Pannell will compete at right guard. Urschel played in Pannell’s place Saturday, when Pannell was disciplined for being late for a team breakfast.

--Among the 18 players scheduled to appear at Beaver Stadium for the final time are redshirt junior safety Andrew Dailey and redshirt junior defensive end Kevion Latham. Dailey was named a co-Big Ten special teams player of the week after blocking a punt against Indiana. He is scheduled to graduate next year and, Paterno said, wants to pursue a Master’s degree. He has dealt with multiple injuries during his career, including stingers this year.

“He’s a good kid, and I’d like to keep him if I can,” Paterno said. “But whatever is best for him, we’ll try to help him if we can.”

“You've got 60, 70, 80 guys sitting around waiting while you decide to sashay over late,” Paterno said. “That's inconsiderate. You're not concerned about your teammates. I think we got the message across. And that's all I care about.”

--Receiver Derek Moye said he plans to submit his name to the NFL Draft advisory council, though he “definitely wants to come back” for his senior season. Moye is Penn State’s leading receiver, with 43 catches for 741 yards and six touchdowns.

--Defensive end Jack Crawford said he’s about “80 percent” healthy and that his lingering foot injury might require offseason surgery. Crawford said he was given the option of playing this season in pain or trying to rest and rehab the foot longer, and he chose to return.

Crawford returned to the field against Ohio State and made his first start in six games against Indiana. Crawford said the injury, which occurred in practice after the Iowa game, limits his ability to explode off the snap.

“It has definitely gotten a lot better since it first happened,” Crawford said. “The pain is still there. I still feel it when I’m on the field. It’s one of those things where, it won’t fully heal until I’m completely off my feet. Hopefully, I won’t have to get surgery.”

--Campus dorms will reopen from Thanksgiving break at 5 p.m. Friday, giving students a chance to return in time for Saturday’s game. Originally, the dorms were to reopen at 8 a.m. Thursday, but Paterno said the athletic department sought flexibility in the scheduling.
